First published in 1933 (this edition in 1939), this book sees Partridge introducing the reader to the eccentric lexicographers Wesley and Captain Grose. In an entertaining way, the book jovially explores and discusses various words and phrases such as ""bloody"", euphemisms, the Devil's nicknames, various versions of slang, and familiar terms of address. He does so with light-worn learning making the book of interest to a whole variety of readers.

Consequently, one might think that uncovering the origins of subprime lending would make the root causes of the crisis obvious. That is essentially where public debate about the causes of the crisis began-and ended-in the month following the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers and the 502-point fall in the Dow Jones Industrial Average in mid-September 2008. However, the subprime housing bubble is just one piece of the puzzle. Asset bubbles inflate and burst frequently, but severe worldwide recessions are rare. What was different this time?In What Caused the Financial Crisis leading economists and scholars delve into the major causes of the worst financial collapse since the Great Depression and, together, present a comprehensive picture of the factors that led to it. One essay examines the role of government regulation in expanding home ownership through mortgage subsidies for impoverished borrowers, encouraging the subprime housing bubble. Another explores how banks were able to securitize mortgages by manipulating criteria used for bond ratings. How this led to inaccurate risk assessments that could not be covered by sufficient capital reserves mandated under the Basel accords is made clear in a third essay. Other essays identify monetary policy in the United States and Europe, corporate pay structures, credit-default swaps, banks' leverage, and financial deregulation as possible causes of the crisis.With contributions from Richard A. Posner, Vernon L. Smith, Joseph E. Stiglitz, and John B. Taylor, among others, What Caused the Financial Crisis provides a cogent, comprehensive, and credible explanation of why the crisis happened. It will be an essential resource for scholars and students of finance, economics, history, law, political science, and sociology, as well as others interested in the financial crisis and the nature of modern capitalism and regulation. 606 $aFinancial crises$zUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aFinance$zUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic policy$y2001-2009 610 $aBusiness. 610 $aEconomics. 615 0$aFinancial crises$xHistory 615 0$aFinance$xHistory 676 $a330.973/0931 701 $aFriedman$b Jeffrey$f1959-$01642435 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822614103321 996 $aWhat caused the financial crisis$94016547 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02459nam 2200685 a 450 001 9910810351803321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-4739-4604-2 010 $a1-78402-505-4 010 $a1-282-95643-4 010 $a1-4462-1327-7 010 $a9786612956430 010 $a1-4462-0232-1 035 $a(CKB)2560000000054990 035 $a(EBL)635486 035 $a(OCoLC)698105650 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000472926 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11284039 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000472926 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10435868 035 $a(PQKB)10611326 035 $a(CaBNVSL)thg00910788 035 $a(OCoLC)879218189 035 $a(Credo)sageukdicles2009 035 $a(Credo)9781784025052 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC635486 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0000077639 035 $a(FINmELB)ELB131359 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000054990 100 $a20080908d2009 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr 200 14$aThe SAGE dictionary of leisure studies /$fTony Blackshaw and Garry Crawford 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aLos Angeles ;$aLondon $cSAGE$d2009 215 $a1 online resource (262 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-4129-1996-7 311 $a1-4129-1995-9 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aCover Page -- Title -- Copyright -- Contents -- Acknowledgement -- Introduction -- The Sage Dictionary of Leisure Studies -- A -- B -- C -- D -- E -- F -- G -- H -- I -- JKL -- M -- N -- O -- P -- Q -- R -- S -- T -- U -- V -- W -- XY -- Z -- Bibliography -- Index. 330 8 $aThis dictionary examines the key concepts of leisure studies.
